When I Told My Bright and Beautiful Senpai at My Part-Time Job That I Was Quitting My Part-Time Job, She Became a Yandere
Saturday, the day I promised senpai that I would study with her.
…That in itself is not a big deal, I’m a little nervous being with senpai, I can concentrate on my studies, and we’ve spent a lot of time together too, so I’m sure I can somehow disguise my nervousness.The problem is
“The problem is that the place to study is my house…”
Why did I invite senpai to my house… if I just wanted to study quietly, there were more options..!
However, since it is not possible to go back in time and start over, I can only think positively about the situation given to me now.
“I’ve given my address to senpai but… it’s almost time for senpai to come to my house, so I’d better wait in front of my house in plain sight.”
I go out in front of the house without anything in particular.
When I went out in front of the house, I could already see Senpai there.
“Eh, senpai? You were already here?”
“Ah, Arata-kun!
Good morning! No, I’ve just arrived.”
“Then good”
I take senpai up to the house.
When I entered the doorway, senpai looked around and said.
“Wow, I can smell Arata-kun!~”
“It’s my house, you know.”
“Are your parents out today?~”
“Everyone is out except me, they probably won’t be back until around night time, so they won’t be able to help me study.”
“I see!~”
Senpai seem to be happy without a care in the world.
I wonder if she was looking forward to teaching me that much.
“Please come up, my room is on the second floor.”
“Y-yeah!”
Senpai lined up her shoes neatly and followed behind me.
…It’s kind of strange that senpai is at home.
Even though senpai is just helping me study at home, she’s dressed quite fashionably, so I feel like I’m getting weirdly nervous too.
…Maybe it’s not fashionable but normal for senpai.
Here we are.”
“Wow!~”
Senpai looks around my room.
“You wake up, breathe, live, study, read, play and sleep here, don’t you?!~”
“Y-Yes, that’s right.”
I thought there might have been a better way to describe it, but I decided not to say it.
“It looks like you have two desks, which one are you going to study?”
The two desks are a full-fledged study desk in the corner of the room and a low desk where I can put a drink or a snack when I watch TV or something.
I usually study at the study desk but…
“I think it’s easier for the two of us to study at this low desk, so we’ll use this one, and we can sit on the floor as we are.”
“Okay.”
Senpai and I sat down on the floor and put everything we needed for study on the desk.
“Then, I’m going to solve the problem set now, so if there’s anything I don’t understand, is it okay if you tell me?”
“……”
“Senpai…?”
“Eh?! Ah! Yeah! I’m fine!”
She says she’s fine, but she doesn’t look so much so… if I look closely, she looks fidgety and nervous.
She’s senpai , so I’m sure she has been to the boy’s room many times before, but maybe this is the first time she has been to a junior boy’s room.
“Just to confirm, Senpai, how many times have you been to the boys’ room? It’s fine if you don’t want to answer.”
I tried to make her think of the boys’ rooms she had been to in the past so that she would understand that my room was not worth being nervous about, but this was a bad idea.
Because…
“…first time…”
“..Eh?”
“First time! I’ve never been in a boy’s room before!’”
Shocking fact.
The reason why I subconsciously invited senpai to my house was probably because I thought that senpai had a lot of experience and that it would be okay to invite her to my house, but it seems that senpai has never been to a boy’s room before.
… wait.
“Then… are you saying that this is your first time?”
“Yes…!”
…I felt a bit sorry.
“I’m sorry for taking away such an important opportunity, but if you could just turn it down… wait, there’s no way a kind-hearted senpai would do something like that.”
When a junior asks her to help him study, she agrees, and even though I offer her a place, she is a senpai who has the kindness to not refuse my offer no matter what.
“…No, that’s not true, I’m not as kind as Arata-kun thinks. If this was an invitation from a boy other than Arata-kun, I would have turned it down.”
Senpai simply said so.
…It’s hard to imagine senpai refusing an invitation, but I wonder if she’s saying this to keep me from getting worried.
“Thank you for your concern.”
“It’s not that! I’m only telling the truth! I told you earlier, I’m not as kind as you think, Arata-kun, okay? I don’t treat everyone like this!”
“I’ve never seen you treat anyone roughly.”
“That’s because it’s in front of Arata-kun…”
“Eh”
“C-Come on! Start studying! If you look at anyone other than me and study today, I’ll pinch you as a penalty!”
It’s a gentle penalty.
After that, I spread out the problem books of my weak subjects and proceeded to solve them, asking senpai if there was anything I didn’t understand.
After about two hours.
“Haa…”
My concentration was broken.
Even though it’s a subject I’m not good at, the irregular situation of having senpai in my room makes it hard for me to concentrate.
“Are you a little tired?”
“Yes…”
“You were working pretty hard, let’s take a break!”
“I’ll do that…”
I put my pen down, then drank some water and decided to have a quick chat with senpai.
“Senpai doesn’t look tired at all.”
“I’m just teaching! Besides, I’m good at studying.”
Just teaching, but it must be quite tiring for the person teaching to explain things to someone who doesn’t understand them.
“I still think it’s great.”
“Really? Thanks…!”
“Were you always good at studying?”
“No, I used to be good at sports and stuff at all, but I didn’t really study until I studied for the university entrance exams, and then I really got serious about it~ and now I’m getting the highest marks!”
Senpai said with a smile, but there must have been endless effort behind it… Ah yeah.
“You were worried about my school the other day, how’s the new college going for you?”
Senpai moved over here at the same time I moved out, and the university has changed with it.
I was a little concerned too, because she was worried about me before.
“Hmm~, of course I’m in the same department, so my studies are fine, and I’ve made about ten friends you know~?”
Same timing as me, but what’s the difference?
“As expected of you, senpai. If you’re keeping up like that, maybe you’ll get a boyfriend soon.”
The air in the room froze when I said that lightly.
Of course, it is not physical, but there is something intuitively felt.
“……”
Senpai doesn’t open her mouth.
“Oh, is it possible that you already…?”
I try to speak as cheerfully as possible, but the atmosphere is still heavy…maybe I’ve said something I shouldn’t have said
“…Arata-kun, what would you think if I had a boyfriend?”
“Eh? Of course I’ll support you! Senpai is my hero and I admire and respect her───”
“Stop that, every time you say that I feel like I’m being stabbed with a knife.”
“….Eh?”
“Admiration and respect.”
Senpai who had been smiling and talking to me just a moment ago was no longer there.
You don’t like being respected…? Respect may be humbling, but it seems unlikely that it will be rejected.
Why…?”
“I… don’t want Arata-kun to respect me, if he admires me or respects me, my feelings… will never… reach him…”
When Senpai became tearful, she immediately fell
I couldn’t hear the last part very well because she was in tears, but she said she didn’t want me to respect her anyway.
“…I’m sorry, Arata-kun, there’s nothing wrong with you… but still, I don’t want you to respect me after all.”
…To be honest, that’s quite difficult.
When you look at the personality and work style of your seniors, it can be difficult to be told not to respect them.
…But I really don’t know why you don’t want to be respected.
“…I don’t see how I could ever stop respecting senpai───.”
I had a flashback to when I suddenly told senpai that I was quitting my previous part-time job.
“I’ve always known that you’ve always thought of me as senior and junior, and I tried to put up with it in case Arata-kun thought that way, but when you say it to me, I just can’t stand it anymore.”
…Those words.
“Senpai, it’s impossible for me not to respect senpai.”
“……”
“But that’s why I want to get to know senpai better… so from now on, I want us to be more like each other and closer to each other.”
When I told her, senpai raised her head vigorously.
Her face was clear, as if she had found some kind of light, unlike before.
I don’t know why that is the case right now, but I’m sure I’ll be able to figure it out as I get to know senpai better.
“…Yes! I’ll give you a break for now!”
Senpai said with a smile, wiping away her tears.
After that, senpai seemed to have regained her usual form, and we studied a little again, talked about trivial things, and saw senpai off to the station.
…I feel that today, something will definitely start to change.
